A large police presence in the downtown area responded, chasing the teens with cars and on foot.

Officers were seen taking several young men into custody.

Police tell Local 4 76 teenagers were taken into custody for questioning before being released to their parents. Eight others were detained for outstanding warrants. Police also questioned 5 adults in relation to the Saturday night antics.

Organizers of the Motown Winter Blast said the disruptions did not effect their event.
